Hi!
I am applying for the Masters in Management program and I need assistance with increasing my GMAT score.
I have taken a 2 tests - one was the sample test on the LBS website and my score was predicted to be around 460. I gave my first official GMAT mock test yesterday and my score was:
Total Score: 420 (Q65; V80; DI68)
I want to increase my score to 670+ but I only have 1 month to prepare. I will take the exam on November 14 due to some application deadlines in December.
For context, I have prepared for 1 month so far using TTP and OG books (have not completed either). I gave the official mock test pretty late in the night and I was very nervous before giving the exam, which may have contributed a little to the low score. After analysis, I also realised that I made a lot of silly mistakes in quant and got the answer wrong - even though I cracked the logic/concept. In DI, my major issue was time management.
I want to know:
a) What should be the strategy going forward to increase the score by 200 points?
b) How to build stamina for the exam because I felt really tired and demotivated (because it was not going well) after the taking the first (DI) section itself?
c) What should be the sequence in which I attempt the sections? (For this one, I did DI, Verbal and Quant)?
d) I missed answering 6 questions in the DI section; could not even take a guess. How do I increase my efficiency and time taken per question because the questions seemed really long. Is there any strategy that I can adopt to answer the questions faster apart from, of course, more practice?
e) How do I take my current verbal score (70 percentile) to 99 percentile?
Overall, do you think it is possible to increase the score by 250 points in 1 month? It would be very helpful if someone could help me with this!! I would also be very grateful for any other tips, study plans, or strategies for my case here.
Thanks!

Hi anushka_mathur,
First, I want to be very honest and say that there is a very small chance of increasing your GMAT score by 250 points in just one month. In any case, I want to provide some advice on how to move forward with your prep.
Regarding how to study for the GMAT, I recommend concentrating on one subject at a time while studying. This allows for thorough understanding and practice, which is key to improving your score.
For example, let's consider your study of Number Properties. First, immerse yourself in all aspects of this topic, and then, focus solely on Number Property questions. After each problem set, take the time to delve into your incorrect answers. This self-reflection is a powerful tool that allows you to understand your learning process and make significant improvements. For instance, if you made a mistake in a remainder question, ask yourself why. Was it a careless error? Did you not apply the remainder formula correctly? Was there a concept in the question that you didn't grasp?
By meticulously analyzing your mistakes, you will efficiently address your weaknesses and, consequently, enhance your GMAT quant skills. This process has been unequivocally proven to be effective. Number Properties is just one example; follow this process for all Quant, Verbal, and DI topics.
For some more tips on the best way to structure your studying, here is a great article:

Thank you for your advice!
I have been able to increase my score to 535 (Q70, V82, DI78) through time management and practice to avoid silly mistakes. But I have my exam on 14th. I am thinking of taking a second attempt and targetting a score of 650+. When would you suggest I give the second attempt considering approaching round 2 application deadlines of universities?
Thanks!!
